Birthday Parties, Clusterfucks, Integrated II, and The Hunger Games

Well, the title says it all. This week was a complete clusterfuck. I had softball after school for two hours everyday, I had two MAJOR assignments due, my nieces and sister moved in, and my sister who was in England came back for a few weeks. So let's see, in Integrated II, I have an 80 and I think I'm gonna fail the class (anything below a 80 is failing for me), because the teacher is no help. He told my mom "Have Ericka review her old tests so she can nail quad formulas", but he doesn't hand anything back until after chapter tests. FAIL! But Friday was fun. It was friend Noah's birthday, so we went and hung out at his mom's for an hour, then we had to go to the school to pick up Evan (who still hates me). We jumped out of the car right as the softball team walked by. They were like "Ericka?" and we all jumped back in and sped off in our car which "District 12" written all over it. We then saw The Hunger Games and it was AMAZING! Of course, there were a few things off, but that's expected. And then we went back to Noah's mom's house and had cake. Then we picked up Tyler to come hang for the night. And we got to Noah's dad's house, where there was MORE cake. So then we went downstairs and played Halo and Rockband until 3am. After that, we played "Questions" (long story) and went to bed around 4:30am. The next day was Kaylee's birthday so we had a small fam party. And next Sunday is my bday and my mom made plans for me. I am officially scared. Onto the usuals!

Happy Wheels, Softball, Nightmares, and Olly Murs

Hello.....
I know, I know, I'm not posting frequently. Well, let me tell you it's been a hard past 3 weeks. I've been having a bit of a rough time. Which is why I have made the consecutive decision to keep my gaming stories under wraps, at least until I feel better. I was almost all the way feeling hunky-dory, then I had a nightmare (I know, I'm 14, I shouldn't be having nightmares, etc.) that made me plummet into awful feelings all over again.

You probably want to hear my nightmare right? Okay, well that is something I can share with you. So, all the nerds and I were camping under the stars. My dream self woke up and looked to my left. Ryan was laying there motionless, in a pool of blood that was his. I screamed for help and grabbed him to see if he was alive in any way. I looked down the row to see if anyone else was hurt and Tyler was the same way. I started screaming and bawling for help. The paramedics declared them dead on the scene and I started having a panic attack. It then flashed to my laptop screen and I clicked on my Yahoo inbox. I had an unread email from Ryan that read: "I know, A ghost emailing you, bizarre I suppose. I can tell you that Tyler and I love it here  in heaven, but would much rather be on Earth with the rest of you guys. It was awful that I was murdered, I mean, because I had a great life and it was going to get better. But I have a big question: why would you kill two people you loved? I hope the police don't actually think it was you, because I have a feeling it wasn't you.  I love you, forever and always-Ryan" Now, you may be saying, "Why would the cops think it was you?". Well, it was because I was the first one awake. Let me just say, when I woke up from this dream, I cried for a long time...anywho, time for usuals!

Teenager Post, Gmail, Silly Things, and Mistakes

Hello there...............

So, I know I haven't posted since February (then again, it's only March 3rd), but none the less. If these posts seem a bit spacy, it's because I'm going through yet ANOTHER rough patch. I'm not going to go into detail about it, since I want to keep it private. So thanks for your patience while I fix my mistakes.

Now, since I got you feeling sad and depressed, I'm going to make you happy with some more reasons why my school is crazy. In my math class, my teacher (Mr. Story...different than the other guy) is so passive aggressive, that if you tell him you have to go to the bathroom and he says no, you can just get up and leave and he doesn't care!
 In Bio, me and my friend Rachel were working on out Ecology worksheet and as I looked over the vocab words we had to match with the diagram of a food chain, I decided to be my bubbly self and say "So...grass is an herbivore right?", which caused us to laugh for hours.
And in my next class, World Lit and Comp, we are constantly goofing off, and we always play Wink Assassin. Let me just say, the assassin's have impeccable timing. One time, a kid died in the middle of the hallway during the switching of classes. Then, he got up and skipped away...and another time the same kid was handing in a test and died onto our teacher's feet. Made my life!
And finally, in World Cultures, we watched clips from Mulan to learn about East Asia. That, and Grace is constantly sprawling out all over my desk and me at the worst times! Also in World Cultures, our teacher is constantly cracking jokes about whatever we are studying, and whenever we meditate, I fall asleep! And then I wake up to tickle torture, courtesy of Grace. Time for usuals!

Water Drinking Contest, Teen All-Nighter, and English Muffin Pizzas

Okay, I am going to give you 5 seconds to diss me for not posting in a long time. Ready, Set, Go! Yup..........I deserved that............Ooh, nice!..............that was a bit harsh.....and we're done! So, my life isn't terribly exciting, except for last week. On Friday, me and Grace (http://underthebigbluesun.blogspot.com) had a water drinking contest. We had to drink as many 16 ounce bottles of water as we could in 6 1/2 hours. Grace found out I wasn't chugging them so we were at 3 to 7. Then I sped up and we had to pee like no other. I finally started chugging water while i was in the bathroom, so it would be a secret. I won, having drunk 10 and Grace forfeited. I was glad I won, but then I remembered that I was pulling an all-nighter. It started at a hockey game. While we were waiting in line, I saw a hockey puck fly over the net, so I ran and claimed it. All the guys were jealous. I then visited some neighboring bleachers to visit my best friends from camp and then we had to leave. Cassie, my friend who is a polatarian, doesn't eat red meat, so we got to go to McDonald's. Then, we hung out in the back of the cafeteria back at the school while Makayla, Cassie's cousin, charged her iPhone. She mocked just about every person who preached up on the stage, causing us to laugh at inappropriate times. We then went to the Edge, a rec center, and went swimming. After, we went bowling where we all started to feel super sleepy. There was one bitch though, who yelled at me for changing shirts in the bowling alley. I was wearing a cami for God's sake! No guys wanted to look at my fat rolls! After that, I slept forever. Then, only running on 5 hours of sleep, I went to dance class. Can you predict how THAT went? Oh well, it was fun. Onto the usual!

Sexiest Men Alive...............And Maybe Dead o_O

'Ello chap! 'Ow's it goin'? I know, awful British accent, but you'll see why I used it later. My week has been........pretty good actually. I had Monday off (Turn-Around Day? Where the teachers fix everything for the next semester?) so me and my sister went dress shopping for Winter Ball. The theme was decided to be Old Man Winter (Really? Who thought that was a good idea?), so Grace decided that we should all wear beards to look like Old Man Winter. I said absolutely not. But, my dress is a spaghetti strap dress that is pink from the chest to my huge hips, then there is a black band that ties around, and finally the bottom is *drumroll* ZEBRA PRINT! I LOVE IT! I got feather earrings, a pink headband with a pink bow and black lace, and a tiny black bow pin for my bangs once I have up my mind what I want for hair that night. Then, the next day I bawled for an hour and a half, because my sister left us to study in England for 5 months. I love her so much. So....onto the title! My top 5 sexiest men starts with none other than................

 

Tyler Posey....the only Teen Wolf I want to attack me :)

Number 3 is............

Goldfish, Pianos, Glee, and Apple-Flavored Lollipops with Mealworms Inside!

Hola! So, multiple crazy things have happened this week. I'll get to that later, but first, this week sucks! We have finals, which means it's my last chance to bump my 79% in math to and 80%. Stupid, right? Well, I went to re-take a test in math, with the teacher that sketches me out. I had my ear buds in and I couldn't hear anything. I turned around before handing in my test, and no one else was in there! Plus, he locked me in there. By myself. Sketchy.......but I walked through the other door that leads to my callback (which is like study hall) in the German room. My homeroom teachers are actually the band director and gym teacher, but band and chorus are at the same time as callback, so the gym teacher take the callback kids to the German room. Anyway, after like 15 minutes, Mrs. Kepes (the German teacher) said "Ericka, go to your own callback." and all I could do is laugh. Well, I guess my worst thing is either how I spend 2 hours in Piano I or that my chorus teacher game me 60 a sight-singing test. I was subjected to the backroom in Piano, where the computer and standup piano live. I sight-played my sight-singing practices for an hour, then sat there doing nothing for an hour. It sucked hard. Also, during chorus exams, I have to be in the chorus room with all the other All-State singers. It wasn't fun until Isaac played Born This Way and Alex M. played Baby. We sang along until we got caught and were sent to callback. Other than that, this week has been normal-ish. Until Noah gave me a lollipop with a mealworm inside it. I am almost close enough to eating it, but not quite. Okay, enough of that. Time for the regulars!

being a free spirit has it"s perks

So I am often asked "If you change one thing from this week, what would it be?" I would change that I ever got out of bed on Tuesday. Everyone knows that I am a Christian in some form or another, and I have always been and always will be for LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender, Queer). I decided that the upcoming Monday I would join the GSA (Gay/Straight Alliance). Someone told Evan, who absolutely HATES LGBTQ. For the last 2 days, he has said awful things to me like that I was going to burn in hell and that God hates me and he has put Noah and Ryan on edge. Noah and Ryan both agree with me, but Ryan has been the one to hold me back and I mean physically. Like stuck his arm out and told me "He's not worth it Ericka. Do what you believe." So, now Evan decided to start talking to me, because he's worried "I'm going down the wrong path". I told him to mind his own business, let make my own decisions, and if I fall down and injure myself, I will recover and get back up as soon as I'm ready. I can't forgive him after he had me at home crying for 4 hours every night this week. I can't get hurt again, not after Jesse, not after Ryan, I can't do it. But, on the bright side, we might have a snow-day tomorrow! The principal did give us a false sense of hope during 7th block, though. He said "We are shutting this place down......................at 3:10." I almost cried I was so sad. So, overall, a medium week.

First thing: don't start commenting on how my blog schedule is off. It's my blog and I can whatever the hell I want with it. I'm having a rough patch right now. Here's the list:

• I am in a posse for my friend Anna Lee for her demo release and 17th birthday and I have start learning all this stuff for July
• I have exams in less than a week and if that doesn't say anything the next one will
• The day after exams, I have an audition for All-State (a music thing) that i don't wanna do. Thank Mom.
• I am starting to learn dances for my recital in June. The costumes are crazy. When I get pics I will post, because the jazz on is seizurastic
• I have a piano recital the day before an exam I have to study for. Really? REALLY?
• And finally, I am trying to decide whether I wanna get over Ryan or stay hopelessly in love with him

I have liked Ryan since the end of 7th grade, just 4 months after my psycho ex-boyfriend stalked me and almost got arrested. In 8th grade from September to November I was very badly depressed and he was the first one to find out because of an argument on Facebook messages that resulted me in missing 4 language arts classes to talk to our hippie guidance counselor. Then December to February he was nice to me, because I play D.N.D. weekly and hung out with his best friends since we were all friends. March....I don't remember much of March other than doing a musical called 13 with Grace. April, I asked him to dance with me at a dance on my birthday, because he never comes to dances. I asked him and he said no. I joked that I would go home and cry. He said he didn't care. It stabbed my heart and let it bleed for days. Then, a week after, we were playing wall ball and I got nailed with a tennis ball. While I cried and was being checked by Tia for injuries, he was asking out a girl in our class! In front of me! He looked at me when he finished the sentence and smiled. It didn't last long though, she broke up with him 2 weeks later. So May to July was boring, not a lot of contact. August, he got a phone. We texted from 10 at night to 1 am. Made. My. Life. And then school came back around and he ignored me. Until I slept over at Noah's house where I got to sleep with my head on his shins. I wouldn't have to much of a problem getting over him if we didn't have a history and because we are all friend with the same people.
So life. KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE ROCKS OF PAIN AND DEPRESSION ALREADY!

My school is loco!!!!

So, if we haven't noticed...I LOVE WRITING THIS THING!!!!!! I don't know why, it's just fun. Anyway, if the title doesn't explain what goes on, I will go into further detail. So everyone still thinks it's winter vacation, so everyone is sleeping in class or just staring at the board with glazed eyes. Some of us are finding light to the situation though, In Spanish, we have to pick a flag, then sit at the corresponding table. I was sitting with a girl named Alissa who is a sophomore and a guy named Bryce who is in my grade. We were playing Pictionary with different words from our 6-part story that involved an obese guy doing ballet. Weird. Me and Bryce were fooling around with our white boards and he drew a smiley face he claimed was high off magic mushrooms. I then drew the mushrooms, and his white board attacked mine! We could not stop laughing and Ms. K couldn't calm us down.

 

The next crazy thing was in Earth and Space Science (yawn...). We were studying all the planets and their moons and all that good stuff. Up pops Uranus. Need I say more? And finally, we reach math class. Mr. Racht (the stupidest teacher ever) turned around and K.C. put her hood up. Then Haley, Dylan, Josh, Lucas, Zach, Izzy,  and Dana put theirs up. Then Arrien, Hartley, Kay, Emily H.and Jakob put theirs up. Tyler motioned to my friends Ryan (melt...) and Evan to do the same. Ryan motioned to me to do the same, so I put my hood up. Then Kim, Julie, Kayla, Chris, Shawna, and Kylie put theirs up. April, Cassie, and Emily didn't have hoods (Emily had one, but she was being stubborn) just went with it. We were snickering and all this good stuff and he turns around. We expect the worse and what does he do? NOTHING! WTF! What would you do if all your students were wearing hoods like gang symbols or whatevs. We could have killed him! Anyway, here's a pic I'm in and so is Ryan :)

 

 I'm the one closest to the chalkboard in the light lavender Colombia, Evan is in the blue Carhart, Tyler is in the striped hoodie behind Zach (the buff guys), and finally Ryan is in the green Ireland hoodie. I swear he positioned himself so you can't see his face very well! Oh and the dumb guy in way back is Mr. Racht. So here goes with the weekly usuals:
